Wales boss Rob Page admitted his players let themselves down after defeat left them staring at World Cup elimination.
Goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey was shown a straight red in the 86th minute for a dangerously high tackle, with Iran scoring twice in added time to seal victory.
Defeat for Rob Page’s side means they must beat England on Tuesday to have any chance of making the last 16 on their first World Cup appearance for 64 years. Wales boss Page said: “They deserved the win. Before I made the changes, they hit the post, the bar, they had a goal disallowed in the first-half.
